1. A project's primary translation memory will be updated with every translation done in the project, even those fetched from other included translation memories not set as primary. Correct?

2. The primary translation memory is active (so to speak) and will change. The other included translations memories are passive (so to speak), i.e. they are just used as reference and will not change during work. Correct?

I'm putting together a quick guide for a few collegues who haven't used memoQ before, and I don't want to confuse them more than necessary.

Thanks!

Now, the primary memory can be selected also on the fly, by simply right-clicking a non-primary memory and choosing Set as primary. This could be the case if you have created the project incorrectly and need to switch memories, or for instance if there is some particular section of your file you want to add to another memory as well.

Imagine for instance that you are translating a technical document which contains a legal/copyright/regulatory chapter. You might want to use your technical memory for the technical part, and then a legal translation for the legal part. By switching memories on the fly you can do that. However, be careful with global Confirm operations in this scenario, so that you don't fill your technical memory with legal stuff or your legal memory with technical stuff!
